Hawkwood's Voyage by Paul Kearney

Extended review here
The author of this book really likes to describe the setting. So much so that my mind would often wander while i was reading and i would forget what character was supposed to be in this setting. i actually cared very little about the characters, mostly because they didn't have much personality beyond what would be expected of a noble or a sailor. the female characters (as few as there were) were even worse, in that they were all extremes of one kind of stereotype. One is basically a slut who uses her body to manipulate men and get what she wants. Another is so pious she blushes and turns away from the sight of her own husband's skin.
I almost considered not finishing this book but decided to continue on as i really feel that it is leading up to a much more interesting plot. i hope i'm right.
